Imagine being able to shut off all Ubiquiti console access in the world instantly, by posting about a grave security issue (real or not) and having a few compatriots to do the same in a short amount of time. You could trivially block a business's access to its own security cameras on a moment's notice, among other things.

If the response to an unverified issue were "just shut everything down" you effectively have implemented an exploitable DoS in your own incident policy.
